Shoot Evaluation:
In my shoot I asked my models to go into the cottage and outside the cottage and to act like they did in the war. I did this to make the images look more natural and authentic to the time period.
The main instruction for my models was to act natural. I also asked them to look just off centre to the camera (if at all). I also went around and took photos of things that were inside of the cottage (and outside) to give more context to the rest of the shoot.
I did gain permission from the models to take and use the images for coursework.
Timings for my photo shoot did go well because I had good amount of time to take good photographs (more than in the 1st shoot). I did use this time effectively and am happy with the majority of the photographs taken.
Overall, I didn't have much control over the models movements or the composition of the photographs. This is because I wanted the photographs to develop organically. I mainly asked my models to stop what they were doing at times that I thought would take a good photo or moved things around slightly. I also changed their positions slightly if needed and moved props around to get the right aesthetic.
The equipment/ props I used in this shoot was costumes, models, furniture (such as wwii memorabilia of many types), RAF memorabilia, a pianola, the tables, an emergency air raid siren and the camera.
I think that the props did effectively show the narrative that the photographs are based in wwii and show the everyday lives of these people.
I used the automatic camera settings whilst taking the photographs to both save time and to try and get the best quality images possible.
I did not control the lighting whilst outside as I had no control of the suns movements but whilst I was inside I used the nets and curtains to control the light available in the room as I did in the first shoot.
Whilst taking the photographs I tried to keep a deep depth of field so that I could see all the details in the photograph.
I did not use filters whilst taking my photographs because I was editing the photographs later and it would give me greater control of the end result of the images.
I didn't need to use my contingency plan as everything went ok and I got the photographs that I was after.
My favourite images from this shoot were SUNP0010 and SUNP0025. This is because these images are the most interesting to me and show the hardships of the war and it shows what was needed to be on in times of emergency.
When editing I will make the photographs either sepia toned or monochrome to make the photographs look from this period in time.
If I were to do this shoot again I would try and be more confident in directing my models in order to get a good photo.
